Label I/O Rockets

The procedure can be used to label an I/O rocket, or to associate a rocket with an instrument.

Example

Associated Project Configuration Options

• If I/O rocket labels are to be placed on the Non-plot layer, make sure that the Labels on Non-Plot Layer checkbox in the Instruments - Labels Sub-Category of the AVEVA P&ID Project Administration program is checked.

• The X, Y offsets in the Offset from Symbol Origin fields control the automatic positioning of the I/O Address, Card Type, Signal Type and Remarks components of the labels.

• The four components of labels may be individually rotated as they are placed. Check the appropriate Rotate with Symbol checkboxes to activate the rotation.

Procedure

1. Start the procedure by either:

   • selecting the symbol to be labelled on The Drawing Page, then selecting Properties from the shortcut menu, or

   • selecting the Properties option in the Properties group of the Home tab.

     Note: Labels can also be viewed using the Non-Modal Properties Dialog, but tags cannot be directly entered into this dialog. Other details can be entered or changed however, and the drawing labelled with them.

2. If the first method of starting the procedure is followed, the AVEVA P&ID Instrument Properties dialog for the symbol is then displayed.

   If the other method is followed, the Command prompt will display:

   Select Item to Label, or Label to Modify:

   Pick the I/O Rocket.

3. The Command prompt will display:

   Select Instrument Item for Association, or <Enter> for Tag:

   Either associate the rocket with an instrument (a) or enter a tag (b).

   a. To associate the rocket with an instrument, pick the instrument and data point. The instrument and rocket are now associated and the procedure is complete for the rocket. (The association can be checked by using ASSHOW.)

   b. To enter a tag, press or select Enter. The AVEVA P&ID Instrument Properties dialog is then displayed:

   

4. Select the instrument type from the Type drop-down list.

   Enter a prefix and select the loop number.

   When an instrument is assigned to a loop, its Number field value is automatically overwritten by that of the loop. By default the Number field is disabled.

   To modify the Number field using a manual loop number, select YES in the Manual Loop No field to enable the Number field.

   Descriptors cannot be entered.

   If the rocket is to be a substitute, complete the Pattern Reference field.

   Note: Pattern labels are case sensitive.

5. If the instrument is panel mounted, enter details of Prefix, Type, Loop and Suffix for the panel that the instrument is mounted on, and select the panel type

   Click OK.

6. The Command prompt will display:

   Select Item to Label, or Label to Modify:

   Pick another rocket to continue labelling, or press or select Enter to end the command.
